Xbox 360 MTV thing

So how about that Xbox 360? I am assuming that everyone watched the
MTV show last night and I am also assuming that we all agree it was
garbage. The important thing to understand here is that, much like
Twisp and Catsby that show was not for us. When I say us I am
referring to the hardcore. The sorts of people who perhaps downloaded
a torrent of last nights MTV show. The sorts of people who had to call
their cable company to find out what channel MTV was on. The sorts of
people who had their Tivo or media PC grab the show for them so that
they could watch it at their leisure. Last nights unveiling of the
Xbox 360 was not for us it was for the people who were already
watching MTV. It’s true, there are human beings out there who watch
MTV in the same way your mom might watch ABC. Sitting through show
after show and watching as rides are pimped and celebrities are
punked. Last nights show was for them and when you look at it that
way I have to say I think the show was a success. I cannot imagine
those sorts of people not being entertained for the entire 30 minutes
by the flashing lights and famous people. Gaming is cool now. Isn’t
that awesome.
